39 weeks

Week 39 and I'm still pregnant. :)

I had a good week off from work for Thanksgiving. I'm thankful that I was able to spend some time at home getting things done. (I still haven't quite learned how to stay off my feet.)

At our last appointment I was still 50% effaced and almost a centimeter dialated.  For now the plan is that I will go back next Monday to see if I am dialating anymore. If not, then I'll be admitted to the hospital on Tuesday where they'll give me something to ripen my cervix. Then I'll get something else to basically knock me out so I don't have to deal with the pain. Then on Wednesday I'll be induced. I was a bit frustrated when she told me that I wasn't dialating, especially since a few weeks ago she said she didn't think I'd make it to the 6th. Also, I'm done dealing with the pain in my back.  I have to keep reminding myself that this is beyond my control and Maddox will come when he is ready.
